This is an announcement for the paper "Noncommutative hyperbolic geometry on the unit ball of $B(H)^n$" by Gelu Popescu. Abstract: In this paper we introduce a hyperbolic distance $\delta$ on the noncommutative open ball $[B(H)^n]_1$, where $B(H)$ is the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space $H$, which is a noncommutative extension of the Poincare-Bergman metric on the open unit ball of $C^n$. We prove that $\delta$ is invariant under the action of the group $Aut([B(H)^n]_1)$ of all free holomorphic automorphisms of $[B(\cH)^n]_1$, and show that the $\delta$-topology and the usual operator norm topology coincide on $[B(H)^n]_1$. Moreover, we prove that $[B(H)^n]_1$ is a complete metric space with respect to the hyperbolic metric and obtained an explicit formula for $\delta$ in terms of the reconstruction operator. A Schwarz-Pick lemma for bounded free holomorphic functions on $[B(H)^n]_1$, with respect to the hyperbolic metric, is also obtained.

This is an announcement for the paper "Uniformly convex-transitive function spaces" by Fernando Rambla-Barreno and Jarno Talponen. Abstract: We introduce a property of Banach spaces called uniform convex-transitivity, which falls between almost transitivity and convex-transitivity. We will provide examples of uniformly convex-transitive spaces. This property behaves nicely in connection with some Banach-valued function spaces. As a consequence, we obtain new examples of convex-transitive Banach spaces.

This is an announcement for the paper "Norm optimization problem for linear operators in classical Banach spaces" by Daniel Pellegrino and Eduardo V. Teixeira. Abstract: We prove a linear operator T acting between l_p-type spaces attains its norm if, and only if, there exists a not weakly null maximizing sequence for T. For 1<p=q we show that any not weakly null maximizing sequence for a norm attaining operator T from l_p to l_q has a norm-convergent subsequence. We also prove that for any fixed x_0 in l_p, the set of operators T from l_p to l_q that attain their norm at x_0 is lineable. The same result is proven for the set of all operators that do not attain their norms.

This is an announcement for the paper "Representation and approximation of positivity preservers" by Tim Netzer. Abstract: We consider a closed set S in R^n and a linear operator \Phi on the polynomial algebra R[X_1,...,X_n] that preserves nonnegative polynomials, in the following sense: if f\geq 0 on S, then \Phi(f)\geq 0 on S as well. We show that each such operator is given by integration with respect to a measure taking nonnegative functions as its values. This can be seen as a generalization of Haviland's Theorem, which concerns linear functionals on polynomial algebras. For compact sets S we use the result to show that any nonnegativity preserving operator is a pointwise limit of very simple nonnegativity preservers with finite dimensional range.

This is an announcement for the paper "On the complexity of the uniform homeomorphism relation between separable Banach spaces" by Su Gao, Steve Jackson, and Bunyamin Sari. Abstract: We consider the problem of determining the complexity of the uniform homeomorphism relation between separable Banach spaces in the Borel reducibility hierarchy of analytic equivalence relations. We prove that the complete $K_{\sigma}$ equivalence relation is Borel reducible to the uniform homeomorphism relation, and we also determine the possible complexities of the relation when restricted to some small classes of Banach spaces. Moreover, we determine the exact complexity of the local equivalence relation between Banach spaces, namely that it is bireducible with $K_{\sigma}$. Finally, we construct a class of mutually uniformly homeomorphic Banach spaces such that the equality relation of countable sets of real numbers is Borel reducible to the isomorphism relation on the class.

This is an announcement for the paper "$C^k$-smooth approximations of LUR norms" by Petr Hajek and Antonin Prochazka. Abstract: Let $X$ be a WCG Banach space admitting a $C^k$-Fr\' echet smooth norm. Then $X$ admits an equivalent norm which is simultaneously $C^1$-Fr\' echet smooth, LUR, and a uniform limit of $C^k$-Fr\' echet smooth norms. If $X=C([0,\alpha])$, where $\alpha$ is an ordinal, then the same conclusion holds true with $k=\infty$.

This is an announcement for the paper "Strict p-negative type of a semi-metric space" by Hanfeng Li and Anthony Weston. Abstract: Doust and Weston introduced a new method called "enhanced negative type" for calculating a non trivial lower bound p(T) on the supremal strict p-negative type of any given finite metric tree (T,d). (In the context of finite metric trees any such lower bound p(T) > 1 is deemed to be non trivial.) In this paper we refine the technique of enhanced negative type and show how it may be applied more generally to any finite semi-metric space (X,d) that is known to have strict p-negative type for some non negative p. This allows us to significantly improve the lower bounds on the supremal strict p-negative type of finite metric trees that were given by Doust and Weston and, moreover, leads in to one of our main results: The supremal p-negative type of a finite semi-metric space cannot be strict. By way of application we are then able to exhibit large classes of finite metric spaces (such as finite isometric subspaces of Hadamard manifolds) that must have strict p-negative type for some p > 1. We also show that if a semi-metric space (finite or otherwise) has p-negative type for some p > 0, then it must have strict q-negative type for all q in [0,p). This generalizes a well known theorem of Schoenberg and leads to further applications.

This is an announcement for the paper "On orthogonal matrices maximizing the 1-norm" by Teodor Banica, Benoit Collins, and Jean-Marc Schlenker. Abstract: For $U\in O(N)$ we have $||U||_1\leq N\sqrt{N}$, with equality if and only if $U=H/\sqrt{N}$, with $H$ Hadamard matrix. Motivated by this remark, we discuss in this paper the algebraic and analytic aspects of the computation of the maximum of the 1-norm on $O(N)$. The main problem is to compute the $k$-th moment of the 1-norm, with $k\to\infty$, and we present a number of general comments in this direction.
